I hate seeing screenshots for indie Game Boy games. No one has ever been able to making engaging graphics on the Game Boy. I’d certainly be upset if a bunch of devs replied to this tweet with screenshots of their games. smh.

Got into an argument with someone who believed that using GB Studio isn’t making “real” games. They continued with the analogy that using WordPress isn’t making real websites.

You don’t need to be a professional musician to enjoy playing an instrument. You don’t need to play in the NBA to get something out of shooting some hoops.
Not every person who makes a game needs to make a living off it.
Make something. Do it for yourself.

In the world of indie game publishing, it's extremely important to make sure you have a contract or at least a written agreement that clearly states what's expected of both parties. If you are told by a company that they don't do contracts, that should be a big red flag.

: If you use a Camera Shake event with a scene that's the minimum GB screen size (20 x 18 tiles), you'll see garbage tiles on the edges of the screen. Make the scene at least one tile larger around to get a cleaner looking shake!

What I thought running a GB Studio publication would be: Playing Games! Writing Stuff! Making Games!
What it actually is: Database Management! Financial Reports! Contracts!

In our excitement to see an “approved” iOS emulator, we reposted a link to iGBA. It has come to our attention that the app is actually an unauthorized reupload of GBA4iOS. We do not recommend using this app as it is capitalizing on stolen work. Sorry for the oversight.
